The association between asthma, asthma, therapeutic classes and hepatic enzyme elevation among adult HMO members

Compr Ther. 2001 Summer;27(2):133-9. doi: 10.1007/s12019-996-0007-4.

Abstract

The results of this case-control study conducted at a large HMO support the notion that severe asthma may be associated with transient hepatic enzyme elevation. Conversely, we found no evidence of associations between asthma therapeutic classes and hepatic enzyme elevation.
